The most expected ride of 2020, however, will take you for a face-to-face encounter with thrilling adventure. Banshee at Kings Island, Mason, Ohio. Inverted (倒置的) feature trains that hang suspended from the track above and leave passengers’ legs hanging. They typically offer tight turns with lots of positive G-forces. With a ride time of 2 minutes 40 seconds and a track length of 4, 124+ feet, Banshee is the world’s longest inverted coaster and is getting so many praises from ride fans. That is really wonderful and exciting. Despicable Me Minion Mayhem at Universal Studios Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The extremely silly characters from the popular Despicable Me movie bring their powerful funny actions to an engaging 4-D ride film.

B Nuclear expert Peng Shilu once said that he only did two things in his entire life: one was to build nuclear submarines (核潜艇), and the other to build nuclear power plants. Despite being one of the founding members of China’s nuclear power industry, Peng described himself as playing a tiny role in the task. In fact, he held leading positions in most of China’s early nuclear power projects, from the first-generation nuclear submarines to the establishment of Dayawan and Qinshan nuclear power stations. Peng was born in 1925 into a family of heroes. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Peng was selected to study chemical machinery (机械) in the Soviet Union. In 1956, when he was about to graduate, he faced a turning point in his life. At that time, the central government decided to select a group of outstanding students studying abroad to transfer to the atomic energy major. Peng willingly agreed, marking the beginning of his lifelong commitment to developing China’s nuclear power. In 1958, China started to independently develop its own nuclear submarines, and Peng was appointed to take charge of the research and design of the nuclear propulsion system. In the 1980s, China decided to build a commercial nuclear power plant. Appointed as the director-in-chief, Peng once again devoted himself to its preparation and construction. During his career, Peng held a variety of high-ranking titles. In 1994, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, one of the top academic bodies in China. Peng passed away in Beijing on March 22, 2021 at the age of 96. The Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee awarded the title “Role Model of the Times” to Peng for his contributions. 4. What is mainly talked about in Para.1? A. Peng’s regrets about his life. B. Peng’s unique personality. C. Peng’s unfulfilled dreams. D. Peng’s great contributions. 5. How did Peng decide when he faced a turnıng point in 1956? A. Following his future development prospects. B. Following his personal interests. C. Following the needs of his motherland. D. Following the economic interests. 6. What is the correct sequence (顺序) of the following events in Peng’s life? ①Major in chemical machinery in the Soviet Union. ②Take charge of the construction of nuclear power plants. ③Be awarded “Role Model of the Times”. ④Be elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. A. ①②③④ B. ①②④③ C. ①③②④ D. ③①②④ 7. What can we learn about Peng’s life? A. Peng played a key role in China’s nuclear power. B. Peng had no plan to oversee a nuclear power plant. C. It was very difficult for Peng to change his major. D. Peng’s career spanned over nine decades. C The world’s elderly population is increasing. The number of older people — those aged 60 years or older — is expected to double by 2050 and is growing faster than all younger age groups across the world. That comes with an increasing need for caregivers who can provide 24-hour care, not only at hospitals or nursing homes, but also at private homes. Already, caregiving robots are programmed to ask questions a nurse would ask and can keep an eye on patients for falls. These robotic assistants are expected to become increasingly marketable and reach 450,000 by 2045 because of the expected caregiver shortage in the United States. “Unluckily, the hard structure of present caregiving robots prevents them from a safe human-robot interaction, limiting their assistance to only social interaction and not physical interaction,” said Ramses Martinez, an assistant professor in Purdue’s College of Engineering. “After all, would you leave babies or old people in the hands of a robot?” Recent advances in material science have enabled the production of soft robots with deformable (可变形的) bodies or the ability to reshape themselves when touched, but today the complex design prevents the use of this technology at home. However, Martinez and other researchers have developed a new design method which shows promise in enabling the production of soft robots using a 3-D printer. The design process has three steps. First, a user makes a computer-aided design file with the shape of the robot. The user then paints the file to show which directions the different joints of the soft robot will move. It takes the computer a few seconds to change the computer-aided design model into a 3-D soft machine that can be printed using any 3-D printer. “The soft machines move like humans. Their ability to change their body structure and movement to adapt to a wide variety of environments will improve caregiving greatly,” says Martinez. The researchers are looking for partners to test and bring their technology to the market. 8. Why does the market urgently need caregiving robots? A. The basic needs of the nursing homes. B. The results of advanced technology. C. The rapid increase in the global aging population. D. The continuous decrease in birth rate. 9. What makes it difficult for people to accept caregiving robots? A. They can’t communicate with the patients freely. B. They can’t offer convincing physical interaction. C. They can’t update the service in a timely manner. D. They can’t truly empathize with the old patients. 10. How to evaluate Martinez’s new design method? A. It allows the computer to fully automate the robot production. B. It requires a specific 3-D printer to print out a soft robot. C. It takes a long time to print a soft robot with a 3-D printer. D. It makes the production of soft robots easier to operate. 11. What is the most important thing for the researchers to do now? A. Ensure the technology is widely accepted and applied. B. Train more users to earn money for further research. C. Ask the manufacturers to produce a variety of products. D. Investigate the market preferences to guide future development. D The coast of the State of Maine is one of the most irregular in the world. A straight line running from the southernmost coastal city to the northernmost coastal city would measure about 225 miles. If you followed the coastline between these points, you would travel more than ten times as far. This irregularity is the result of what is called a drowned coastline. The term comes from the glacial (冰川的) activity of the Ice Age. At that time, the whole area that is now Maine was part of a mountain range that towered above the sea. As the glacier declined, however, it applied enormous force on those mountains, and they sank into the sea. As the mountains sank, ocean water charged over the lowest parts of the remaining land. And the highest parts of the former mountain range, nearest the shore, remained as islands. Marine fossils found here are 225 feet above sea level indicating the level of the shoreline prior to the glacier. The 2,500-mile-long rocky and jagged (锯齿状的) coastline of Maine keeps watching over nearly 2,000 islands. Many of these islands are tiny and uninhabited, but many are home to blooming communities. Mt. Desert Island is one of the largest, most beautiful of the Maine coast islands left behind by the glacier. Measuring 16 miles by 12 miles, Mt. Desert was very nearly farmed as two distinct islands. It is split almost in half by Somes Sound, a very deep and very narrow stretch of water seven miles long. For years, Mt. Desert Island, particularly its major settlement, Bar Harbor, has afforded summer homes for the wealthy. Recently, though, Bar Harbor has become a new art community as well. But the best part of the island is the unspoiled forest land known as Acadia National Park. Since the island sits on the border between two different geographical zones, the park supports the plants and animals of both zones. It also lies in a major bird migration lane and is a resting spot for many birds. 12. What was the result of glacier movement during the Ice Age? A. The coastline was significantly shortened. B. Parts of the mountains became islands. C. The sea level rose to a very high level. D. More new coastal cities emerged. 13 What does the underlined word mean in Para.1? A. Exceeded in height. B. Appeared suddenly. C. Floated long-term. D. Discovered finally. 14. What can we know about Mt. Desert? A. It was the narrowest island in the world. B. It is divided into two parts by a sound. C. It is home to a lot of art communities. D. It was formed due to the “drowned coastline”. 15. What can NOT be seen in Acadia National Park? A Various plants and animals. B. A quantity of birds. C. Many famous celebrities. D. Uninhabited forest. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Hou Yifan, born on February 27, 1994 in Jiangsu, China, is a world-famous Chinese chess player.

My grandfather, with his patient eyes and gentle hands, was the one who guided me through this journey. As I nervously mounted the bike, everything seemed to go awry. My heart pounded in my chest, and I didn’t know where to place my feet or how to keep the bike upright. But my grandfather, with his calming voice, told me to simply put my feet on the pedals and start cycling. He promised to hold onto the back of the bike, giving me a sense of security. However, as soon as I began to find my balance, I felt a sudden lightness and realized he had let go. Panic surged through me as I glanced back, seeing nothing but empty space where his supporting hand should be. Fear gripped me, and my mind went blank. I forgot how to use the brakes and, in a moment of panic, fell right off the bike. Tears streamed down my face as I lay there, feeling defeated. But my grandfather, with his endless encouragement, urged me to get up and try again. After a few moments of sobbing, I wiped away my tears, took a deep breath, and climbed back onto the bike. This time, I was more determined than ever. I focused on keeping my balance, remembering the tips my grandfather had given me. But just as I thought I was making progress, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face, hitting my nose hard. My grandfather, seeing my distress (痛苦), decided to call it a day. We took a break, and he promised we would try again the next morning. As I lay in bed that night, my nose still throbbing, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of frustration and anticipation. I was frustrated that I hadn’t mastered the bike yet, but I was also eager to try again, to prove to myself that I could do it. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 The next morning I woke up bright and early, my nose feeling a little better and my determination renewed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The wind rushed through my hair, and I felt a sense of freedom and accomplishment that I had never felt before. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 威宁九中2024年秋季学期高二年级第一次月考 英 语 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号在答题卡上填写清楚。 2.每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。在试题卷上作答无效。 3.考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Despite being one of the founding members of China’s nuclear power industry, Peng described himself as playing a tiny role in the task. In fact, he held leading positions in most of China’s early nuclear power projects, from the first-generation nuclear submarines to the establishment of Dayawan and Qinshan nuclear power stations. Peng was born in 1925 into a family of heroes. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Peng was selected to study chemical machinery (机械) in the Soviet Union. In 1956, when he was about to graduate, he faced a turning point in his life. At that time, the central government decided to select a group of outstanding students studying abroad to transfer to the atomic energy major. Peng willingly agreed, marking the beginning of his lifelong commitment to developing China’s nuclear power. In 1958, China started to independently develop its own nuclear submarines, and Peng was appointed to take charge of the research and design of the nuclear propulsion system. In the 1980s, China decided to build a commercial nuclear power plant. Appointed as the director-in-chief, Peng once again devoted himself to its preparation and construction. During his career, Peng held a variety of high-ranking titles. In 1994, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, one of the top academic bodies in China. Peng passed away in Beijing on March 22, 2021 at the age of 96.

The number of older people — those aged 60 years or older — is expected to double by 2050 and is growing faster than all younger age groups across the world. That comes with an increasing need for caregivers who can provide 24-hour care, not only at hospitals or nursing homes, but also at private homes. Already, caregiving robots are programmed to ask questions a nurse would ask and can keep an eye on patients for falls. These robotic assistants are expected to become increasingly marketable and reach 450,000 by 2045 because of the expected caregiver shortage in the United States. “Unluckily, the hard structure of present caregiving robots prevents them from a safe human-robot interaction, limiting their assistance to only social interaction and not physical interaction,” said Ramses Martinez, an assistant professor in Purdue’s College of Engineering. “After all, would you leave babies or old people in the hands of a robot?” Recent advances in material science have enabled the production of soft robots with deformable (可变形的) bodies or the ability to reshape themselves when touched, but today the complex design prevents the use of this technology at home. However, Martinez and other researchers have developed a new design method which shows promise in enabling the production of soft robots using a 3-D printer. The design process has three steps. First, a user makes a computer-aided design file with the shape of the robot. The user then paints the file to show which directions the different joints of the soft robot will move. It takes the computer a few seconds to change the computer-aided design model into a 3-D soft machine that can be printed using any 3-D printer. “The soft machines move like humans. Their ability to change their body structure and movement to adapt to a wide variety of environments will improve caregiving greatly,” says Martinez. The researchers are looking for partners to test and bring their technology to the market. 8. Why does the market urgently need caregiving robots? A. The basic needs of the nursing homes. B. The results of advanced technology. C. The rapid increase in the global aging population. D. The continuous decrease in birth rate. 9. What makes it difficult for people to accept caregiving robots? A. They can’t communicate with the patients freely. B. They can’t offer convincing physical interaction. C. They can’t update the service in a timely manner. D. They can’t truly empathize with the old patients. 10. How to evaluate Martinez’s new design method? A. It allows the computer to fully automate the robot production. B. It requires a specific 3-D printer to print out a soft robot. C. It takes a long time to print a soft robot with a 3-D printer. D. It makes the production of soft robots easier to operate. 11. What is the most important thing for the researchers to do now? A. Ensure the technology is widely accepted and applied. B. Train more users to earn money for further research. C. Ask the manufacturers to produce a variety of products. D. Investigate the market preferences to guide future development. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是随着世界老年人人口的不断增长，对护理人员的需求也越来越大，克服了当前护理机器人硬结构的弊端，科技人员研制出了用3D打印机生产软体护理机器人的新的设计方法，并有望在未来投入市场。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段中的“The world’s elderly population is increasing. The number of older people — those aged 60 years or older — is expected to double by 2050 and is growing faster than all younger age groups across the world.(世界老年人口正在增加。预计到2050年，60岁或以上的老年人数量将翻一番，其增长速度超过全球所有年轻群体。)”可知，世界老龄人口正在增加，结合下文的“That comes with an increasing need for caregivers who can provide 24-hour care, not only at hospitals or nursing homes, but also at private homes.(随之而来的是，对能够提供24小时护理的护理人员的需求越来越大，不仅在医院或养老院，而且在私人家中。)”可知，由于老龄人口的不断增加，其增长速度超过全球所有年轻群体，所以对能够提供24小时护理的护理人员的需求越来越大，由此可知，市场迫切需要看护机器人的原因是全球老龄化人口的迅速增加。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的““Unluckily, the hard structure of present caregiving robots prevents them from a safe human-robot interaction, limiting their assistance to only social interaction and not physical interaction,” said Ramses Martinez, an assistant professor in Purdue’s College of Engineering. (普杜大学工程学院助理教授拉姆西斯·马丁内斯说：“不幸的是，目前的看护机器人的硬结构使它们无法进行安全的人机互动，限制了它们的帮助，只进行社交互动，而不是身体互动。”)”可知，目前的看护机器人的硬结构使它们无法进行安全的人机互动，由此可知，它们不能提供令人信服的身体互动使得人们难以接受看护机器人。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“However, Martinez and other researchers have developed a new design method which shows promise in enabling the production of soft robots using a 3-D printer.(然而，马丁内斯和其他研究人员已经开发出一种新的设计方法，有望使用3-D打印机生产软机器人。)”以及第六段中的“It takes the computer a few seconds to change the computer-aided design model into a 3-D soft machine that can be printed using any 3-D printer.(计算机只需几秒钟就能将计算机辅助设计模型转换为可使用任何3-D打印机打印的3-D软机器。)”可知，马丁内斯和其他研究人员开发的新的设计方法能使用3-D打印机生产软机器人，计算机只需要几秒使用任何3-D打印机打印出软体机器人，由此可知，马丁内斯他们设计的机器人使软机器人的生产更容易操作。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段“The researchers are looking for partners to test and bring their technology to the market.(研究人员正在寻找合作伙伴来测试并将他们的技术推向市场。)”可知，研究人员在寻求合作伙伴测试并将该技术推向市场，这意味着目前最紧迫的任务是确保这项新技术能够得到市场的认可，并且能够实际应用于改善老年人的护理条件，由此可知，研究人员现在要做的最重要的事情确保技术被广泛接受和应用。故选A项。 D The coast of the State of Maine is one of the most irregular in the world. A straight line running from the southernmost coastal city to the northernmost coastal city would measure about 225 miles. If you followed the coastline between these points, you would travel more than ten times as far. This irregularity is the result of what is called a drowned coastline. The term comes from the glacial (冰川的) activity of the Ice Age. At that time, the whole area that is now Maine was part of a mountain range that towered above the sea. As the glacier declined, however, it applied enormous force on those mountains, and they sank into the sea. As the mountains sank, ocean water charged over the lowest parts of the remaining land. And the highest parts of the former mountain range, nearest the shore, remained as islands. Marine fossils found here are 225 feet above sea level indicating the level of the shoreline prior to the glacier. The 2,500-mile-long rocky and jagged (锯齿状的) coastline of Maine keeps watching over nearly 2,000 islands. Many of these islands are tiny and uninhabited, but many are home to blooming communities. Mt. Desert Island is one of the largest, most beautiful of the Maine coast islands left behind by the glacier. Measuring 16 miles by 12 miles, Mt. Desert was very nearly farmed as two distinct islands. It is split almost in half by Somes Sound, a very deep and very narrow stretch of water seven miles long. For years, Mt. Desert Island, particularly its major settlement, Bar Harbor, has afforded summer homes for the wealthy. Recently, though, Bar Harbor has become a new art community as well. But the best part of the island is the unspoiled forest land known as Acadia National Park. Since the island sits on the border between two different geographical zones, the park supports the plants and animals of both zones. It also lies in a major bird migration lane and is a resting spot for many birds. 12. What was the result of glacier movement during the Ice Age? A. The coastline was significantly shortened. B. Parts of the mountains became islands. C. The sea level rose to a very high level. D. More new coastal cities emerged. 13. What does the underlined word mean in Para.1? A. Exceeded in height. B. Appeared suddenly. C. Floated long-term. D. Discovered finally. 14. What can we know about Mt. Desert? A. It was the narrowest island in the world. B. It is divided into two parts by a sound. C. It is home to a lot of art communities. D. It was formed due to the “drowned coastline”. 15. What can NOT be seen in Acadia National Park? A. Various plants and animals. B. A quantity of birds. C. Many famous celebrities. D. Uninhabited forest. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍美国缅因州海岸线的地质特点和形成原因，以及其中一个最大的岛屿——Mt. Desert岛。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As the glacier declined, however, it applied enormous force on those mountains, and they sank into the sea.(然而，随着冰川的消退，它对这些山脉施加了巨大的力量，它们就沉入了大海)”以及第二段中的“As the mountains sank, ocean water charged over the lowest parts of the remaining land. And the highest parts of the former mountain range, nearest the shore, remained as islands.(随着山的下沉，海水涌向剩下的陆地的最低部分。以前山脉的最高部分，离海岸最近的地方，仍然是岛屿)”可知，冰河时期冰川运动的结果是部分山脉变成了岛屿。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词前的“At that time, the whole area that is now Maine was part of a mountain range…(当时，现在缅因州的整个地区都是……山脉的一部分)”可知，现在的缅因州的整个地区都是山脉的一部分，结合下文的“As the glacier declined, however, it applied enormous force on those mountains, and they sank into the sea.(然而，随着冰川的消退，它对这些山脉施加了巨大的力量，它们就沉入了大海)”可知，随着冰川的消退，这些山脉沉入了大海。由此可知，当时缅因州的整个地区都是高出海面上的山脉的一部分，所以划线单词的意思应与“高出”意义相近。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Measuring 16 miles by 12 miles, Mt. Desert was very nearly farmed as two distinct islands. It is split almost in half by Somes Sound, a very deep and very narrow stretch of water seven miles long.(Mt. Desert长16英里，宽12英里，几乎被耕种成两个不同的岛屿。它几乎被索姆斯海峡分成了两半，索姆斯海峡又深又窄，有七英里长)”可知，Mt. Desert几乎被索姆斯海峡分成了两半。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But the best part of the island is the unspoiled forest land known as Acadia National Park. Since the island sits on the border between two different geographical zones, the park supports the plants and animals of both zones. It also lies in a major bird migration lane and is a resting spot for many birds.(但岛上最好的部分是被称为阿卡迪亚国家公园的未受破坏的森林。由于该岛位于两个不同地理区域之间的边界，公园为两个区域的植物和动物提供了支持。它还位于主要的鸟类迁徙通道上，是许多鸟类的休息场所)”可知，阿卡迪亚国家公园拥有未受破坏的森林，还为植物和动物提供了支持，并且还是许多鸟类的休息场所。由此可知，阿卡迪亚国家公园可见到的是未被破坏的森林，各种各样的动植物以及许多鸟类，没有涉及到著名的名人。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Hou Yifan, born on February 27, 1994 in Jiangsu, China, is a world-famous Chinese chess player.

My grandfather, with his patient eyes and gentle hands, was the one who guided me through this journey. As I nervously mounted the bike, everything seemed to go awry. My heart pounded in my chest, and I didn’t know where to place my feet or how to keep the bike upright. But my grandfather, with his calming voice, told me to simply put my feet on the pedals and start cycling. He promised to hold onto the back of the bike, giving me a sense of security. However, as soon as I began to find my balance, I felt a sudden lightness and realized he had let go. Panic surged through me as I glanced back, seeing nothing but empty space where his supporting hand should be. Fear gripped me, and my mind went blank. I forgot how to use the brakes and, in a moment of panic, fell right off the bike. Tears streamed down my face as I lay there, feeling defeated. But my grandfather, with his endless encouragement, urged me to get up and try again. After a few moments of sobbing, I wiped away my tears, took a deep breath, and climbed back onto the bike. This time, I was more determined than ever. I focused on keeping my balance, remembering the tips my grandfather had given me. But just as I thought I was making progress, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face, hitting my nose hard. My grandfather, seeing my distress (痛苦), decided to call it a day. We took a break, and he promised we would try again the next morning. As I lay in bed that night, my nose still throbbing, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of frustration and anticipation. I was frustrated that I hadn’t mastered the bike yet, but I was also eager to try again, to prove to myself that I could do it. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning I woke up bright and early, my nose feeling a little better and my determination renewed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The wind rushed through my hair, and I felt a sense of freedom and accomplishment that I had never felt before. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next morning I woke up bright and early, my nose feeling a little better and my determination renewed. The sky was just beginning to lighten, and I could hear birds chirping outside. After a quick breakfast, I rushed out to meet my grandfather in the yard. This time, I felt more prepared. We started with simple balancing exercises, and gradually moved on to practicing starts and stops. Every small success boosted my confidence, and I could feel myself getting closer to riding on my own. The wind rushed through my hair, and I felt a sense of freedom and accomplishment that I had never felt before. Suddenly, I realized that I was cycling around the yard without any help from my grandfather. The fear from the previous day vanished, replaced by pure joy and excitement. I stopped near him, grinning from ear to ear. “You did it!” he said, proud and happy. That day, I not only learned to ride a bike but also understood the power of perseverance. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者第一次学骑自行车的一段可怕但又有趣的经历，爷爷告诉作者骑自行车的方法并答应他会扶着车尾，但是作者才找到平衡的时候觉得爷爷松开了手，导致作者害怕，大脑一片空白而摔了下来，在爷爷的鼓励下作者又试一次，在觉得有进步的时候，裤子却被链条缠住，作者再一次摔在地上，撞到了鼻子，爷爷决定休息并答应作者第二天早上再试一次，作者在床上忍着疼痛，心中充满了沮丧和期待。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，我很早就醒来了，我的鼻子感觉好了一点，我的决心又恢复了。”可知，第一段可描写第二天早上的天气状况以及作者接下来练习骑车的成果。 ②由第二段首句内容“风吹过我的头发，我感到一种从未有过的自由和成就感。”可知，第二段可描写作者做到了并且得到爷爷的赞赏以及作者的感悟 2.续写线索：起早准备——找爷爷练习——逐渐成功——自己骑行——爷爷赞赏——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①冲出去：rushed out/dash out/head out ②增强：boosted/build up ③意识到：realized/be aware 情绪类 ①高兴：happy/wild with joy/excited 【点睛】[高分句型1].
